Overview of LGU2C152MELB – Aluminum Electrolytic Snap‑In Capacitor, 160 V, 1.5 mF, 105°C

The LGU2C152MELB is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for general‑purpose electronic applications that require high capacitance and elevated temperature endurance. It combines a 1.5 mF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage, designed for circuits that need robust bulk energy storage and steady performance up to 105°C.

Built to withstand prolonged ripple stress, this snap‑in capacitor is suitable for applications where reliable high‑temperature operation and solid ripple current handling are required. The part is RoHS compliant and polarized for conventional power‑electronics usage.

Key Features

  • Capacitance and Voltage — 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 160 V to support mid‑voltage bulk energy storage and decoupling requirements.
  • High Temperature Rating — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C, matching demanding thermal environments within the specified voltage range.
  • Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Specified to withstand 3000 hours of rated ripple current at 105°C, with capacitance change within ±20% after the endurance test.
  • Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.84 A at 120 Hz and 4.26 A at 50 kHz for effective AC stress handling in power circuits.
  • Snap‑In Radial Can Package — Snap‑in terminal type (radial, can – snap‑in) for secure PCB mounting and mechanical stability in through‑hole assemblies.
  • Polarized with Standard Tolerance — Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20%).
  • Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

  • Power supply filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for general‑purpose power supplies operating up to 160 V and 105°C.
  • Industrial electronics — Suited to general‑purpose industrial circuits that require durable high‑temperature capacitors with long ripple‑current endurance.
  • Energy storage and decoupling — Acts as a bulk energy reservoir and decoupling element in mid‑voltage electronic designs where sustained ripple current tolerance is needed.

Unique Advantages

  • Proven high‑temperature endurance — 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple current demonstrates stable long‑term behavior in elevated thermal conditions.
  • Balanced ripple performance — Provided ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 50 kHz enable designers to size the capacitor with explicit AC stress numbers.
  • Simplified assembly — Snap‑in radial can package ensures reliable mechanical anchoring and straightforward through‑hole mounting on printed circuit boards.
  • Clear electrical specification — 1.5 mF at 160 V with ±20% tolerance and polarization simplifies component selection for mid‑voltage power applications.
  • Regulatory alignment — RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions requiring restricted‑substance conformance.

Why Choose LGU2C152MELB?

LGU2C152MELB positions itself as a reliable, general‑purpose snap‑in electrolytic capacitor for mid‑voltage designs that demand substantial capacitance and verified high‑temperature endurance. With explicit ripple current ratings and a 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C, it addresses the needs of engineers specifying components for sustained thermal and AC stress.

This capacitor is suited to designers and procurement teams seeking a polarized, snap‑in aluminum electrolytic with clear performance data for power supply filtering, energy storage, and other general‑purpose electronic applications where RoHS compliance and long thermal endurance matter.
